Introduction to fiber optic sensors for health monitoring of civil structures
Main Article Content
Abstract
The structural health monitoring (SHM) is one of the main tools available for the execution of predictive maintenance tasks. The evolution of technologies associated with optical communications over the last 30 years has led to the emergence of different types of optical fiber sensors (OFS) whose applicability in the field of measurement techniques related to SHM has been demonstrated. The performance of various types of OFS was widely evaluated both in the laboratory and in the field, for the determination of different physical/chemical processes and quantities of great engineering interest. This paper provides a current overview of OFS within the most commonly used measurement schemes in SHM. It includes different thermal, chemical and mechanical processes and quantities reported so far that can be analyzed through the use of OFS in monitoring strategies of civil structures.
